I would recommend a vet visit for Snow. If he is not eating that may be a sign of fever or pain and being unable to move his paw indicates a potential serious problem. I would recommend trying to get him to the veterinarian today. After physical exam the vet may recommend doing x-rays based on their findings. I hope Snow is feeling better soon.
